Summary: Firefox 1.5 welcome text rendered poorly Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other URL: http://mozilla.com OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download, regression Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Install Firefox 1.5. Look at the text on the welcome page that says "…but we recommend updating to Firefox 2". It is rendered horribly now, with poor widths and bad horizontal spacing.
Installing corefonts before installing Firefox works around the problem. wine-20071025 didn't have this problem (possibly because it didn't try as hard to get fonts right).
